Zero Plastic Campaign - Mullukkara Panchayath
Zero
Plastic Campaign at Mullurkkara Panchayath
The
AITE , pertaining to the 2023
Environmental Week Celebration Theme of "Beat Plastic" to launch a
Zero Plastic Campaign Mullurkara Panchayath. The objective of the campaign is
to create an awareness on reducing the plastic wastes, effective recycling and plastic
waste management, and potential health risks associated with burning plastics
and also the environmental impact of dumping plastics in open spaces.
Initially,
the AITE students conducted a cleaning campaign to provide a positive example
for everyone on how to reduce plastic waste, sort it, and sent it for
recycling. Along with raising awareness and distributing pamphlets about how to
reduce plastic trash generated at home, they also conducted a survey to find
out how much people know about the aforementioned facts. Additionally, they also
educated people about how to manage plastic garbage and the possible health
risks associated with burning plastic. The students emphasized to quit the single-use
bag, adopt any bags at home and simply re-use. Single Use Plastics that are
used once cannot be readily recycled. Its extreme low weight causes it to
litter, wind up in landfills, drains, and our waterways, posing a risk to the environment.
AITE
has consistently upheld societal welfare and fulfilled its obligations to the
local community. This project is a modest step in addressing the terrible and
difficult plastic pollution that is destroying the ecosystem as a whole. And we
think that when everyone works together to Beat Plastic, the world can change.
